This is the only data handbook on the barrier and film properties of polymeric materials in thin sections. Data on permeation of liquids, gases, moisture, aroma, and flavor - all important considerations in a wide range of applications - is extensive. Nearly 100 preprocessed resins, composites and multilayer films are covered. Thermoplastics, thermosets, thermoplastic elastomers and rubbers are included. Permeability data has been normalized to allow for easy comparison between material and test conditions.

Engineering Coatings guides readers in the choice of coatings and the means of application to fit their specific circumstances. Mechanisms of wear and corrosion are discussed in detail to assist in the analysis of previous component failures and assess how newly designed parts are likely to suffer in service. Coating processes along with the materials available for deposition by the process are covered extensively, including laser surfacing, new thermal spray processes and polymer coatings. Combined with in depth coverage of finishing of surface coatings, quality assurance, health and safety issues and applications, this a powerful reference for engineers, scientists, materials engineers, welding engineers, metallurgists and technologists who work with surface coating and finishing or need to be acquainted with the subject. It is now 10 years since the 1st edition of Engineering Coatings by Stan Grainger appeared. The success of that edition and the developments in the area since its publication, make this new edition a valuable addition to the literature on the subject.

Comprehensive and authoritative, this up-to-date exploration of the science and technology of paints and surface coatings covers the theory often missing in other texts and introduces state-of-the-art developments and cutting-edge proposals. Offers an easy-to-read account of the principles involved in the optical properties of paints, covering both the physical and aesthetic aspects of opacity and color, and discussing in detail the physics of paint and the physical chemistry of dispersions. Reviews the polymer chemistry of all common paint binders and the technology of pigment use.
Suggests a totally new approach to building and house paints that looks at the requirements of substrates. Extensive sections on automotive paints and automotive refinish paints address the demands and performance required in these markets. Valuable chapters on the use of computers in the paint industry and health and safety explore their recent influences on coating developments.
Key Features: - One of the most comprehensive handbooks ever available
- Unique chapter on use of computers and Internet in formulation and control of coatings design
- Easy to read format allows for use by students and nonscientific technicians

This book covers an important and frequently overlooked area of welding - the repair of molds, tools and dies. Because two rather different trades overlap in this process - welding and tool making, the materials and techniques involved have tended to be obscured. For many years, toolmakers and tool users have had to rely on the small number of specialist welders who do understand exactly what welding repair involves and have the skills to carry it out. Understanding the technical side of tool steels is frequently a problem for welders and understanding the practical side of welding can be a problem for machinists. This book has been written so that specialists from both sides can get to grips with the techniques and procedures involved. Key Features: - Wonderfully illustrated with diagrams that explain key points - Exhaustive reference of steels in the first appendix (48 pages) - "Reading it is like being taught to weld molds, tools and dies by a friend who is highly experienced in this trade." (Rocky Huber in his review)

This is an exhaustive reference of all solids capable of changing the physical and chemical properties of materials. Stimulated by the fact that materials can be improved almost beyond recognition by new grades of fillers, this one volume presents the information needed to market, develop, select, manufacture, and apply these versatile materials. A single volume contains all the fundamentals and the latest advances in fillers technology and the products in which they are used. The book is divided into three sections. The first is a databank of fillers which includes the most comprehensive set of data ever published. The second section is designed to show how material properties can be tailored to the needs of products. Coupled with observations and theories from current research, this section serves to reconcile controversial findings and provides an understanding of the complex issues of filler applications. The last section concentrates on the application of fillers on an industrial scale.
